Thanks again for all you help and comments. The ironic thing is that the 2 items won now belong to a small group of mine that has NO magic-users (lol), so they cannot use either of them!
But having this information (indeed, it was the errata section that had the formula I was looking for) settles the information in my records for future use in the story. I have a shaman that might or might not (when she meets this group) be able to use the talisman. But the only magic-user (for using the wand) on the horizon for my current game is a Shadow Weaver newly trained in Shadow Magic. I don't know if he would find it useful or not (probably should - just haven't thought about it yet) - didn't expect to roll a wand (how lovely, though - lol)
Shalom!

Keep in mind that it's an overly simplistic method that does
not take into account the situational conditions. For
instance, a talisman that fires EL10 Fire Darts is pretty
useless to a farmer...since it needs a magic user to operate
it. Also, value depends on rarity. If
everybody in town has been shopping at the local magic shop,
well, things might be cheap. Also, other magic users
might not want to part with their gold if they can make such
an object themselves.
What it does well, IMO, is give relative value...so if you
have a certain level of wealth you want maintained in your
game you can use the formulas for balance.
A magic user could quickly become very wealthy using the
formula.

THANK YOU!!!!!
"'That's it!' Charlie Brown shouted, knocking Lucy off her
stool at her Psychologist's Booth, in surprise."
Thank you! Thank you! That was what I had found. Now I can
figure out the values of my wand and talisman (not that the
characters will know, until later) I didn't think to check
the Errata section - duh! I have now flagged the page for
future reference. God bless you all for trying to help me -
lol.
I am writing down my game as I play, for I want to use these
charcters I've created. I hope to publish it as a novel or
novella (depending upon its length). I have at least 3
groups already gathered, with individuals (and a pair of
brothers) ready to be added to them. Two groups at least are
be featured in my first book, but I haven't gotten far
enough into the story for them to have met yet. The rest
will also join them eventually, if not in this book, then
the second one. I'm nearly at page 100, and am going back to
fill out some hastily-written action sequences today. I know
it needs to be easily readable & characters interesting
enough in order to get published, so fleshing them out is
what I have been working on this week. I haven't even yet
dscribed their clothing. Thought I would have a new
individual they are due to meet give her impressions of
their overall physical appearance. Physical looks I've done,
but clothing and carriage should be noted
by strangers who will become friends (if uneasy ones).
Currently I have no definite ending - I know where it is,
just not what is to be encountered there. Once I know that,
I can complete my chapter & story outline and start
submitting it to publishers (I wonder if Avalon Hill is
associated with one, hmmm.) Eight chapters done, at least
2-3 more ready to go, once I fill in conversation &
other details in encounters already completed.
I also confess I play the game somewhat liberally, rolling
the dice as many as three times for better play options,
although if the 3rd is best, and the 2nd is survivable, I
use the 2nd or the 1st - whichever number is the middle
choice. I want my PCs to have Special Events that are useful
in play, and not all alike. As my own Dungeon Master for my
story, I know where I want these characters to go, and they
need to reach there, or there's no story (sigh - so I cheat
a bit if you're hardcore, but the rules - as they themselves
state - are a guideline only. So on I go!
Wish me luck! And pray that I create conversation with
enough humor (and personal sharing) to enjoy reading it.
Only one incipient love interest so far, but have a second
later in the story. I'll see what else might develop - hope
my PCs gel enough to have at least two more, once my two
groups (one is currently four, with a fifth joining very
soon, the other is six strong, consisting of a group of five
and one emotionally interested in one of that group &
able to join, in exchange for his fighting skills. Two more
are joining in, as part of the arrangement of the two groups
joining. So I will be using about 15 PCs in this book, plus
various NPCs all along the way.
I know I will have to get publishing clearance from Richard
Snider (I do hope he's still with us) and Avalon Hill, but
hope if I find a publisher, that they will take care of that
- I'm sure they'd be due a percentage, and might even be
willing to help stories (if they are good) get published.
Maybe Harn should get 1%, too, since I use it for developing
PCs' physical appearances and family histories.
So you see I am serious about this. It would be really nice
if stories from this game could get out into the wider world
in book form (paperbacks!) - might get us more players, and
fans for the game - and more books from others that I would
read!
Thanks again for your assistance!

Hiya!
Ok, maybe it's this? "Book of Tables, Pg 46". It's the
Book
Four
Eratta. It gives a way of determining the GC value of a
magic
item. There is no "list" of prices or anything like that;
the
Referee has to figure all the prices out for each item in
question 'from scratch'.
